The connectivity to the ICTT got a shot in the arm with the successful trial run of locomotive on the rail route connecting Vallarpadam to Edapally. This rail route runs over the longest railway bridge in India measuring 4.6 kms. The two-lane National Highway Connectivity to the ICTT would be ready by May 2010.
